Enjoyed a wonderful dim sum lunch with Bob Sung on his A Wok Around Chinatown Tour and our new friends at Floata Seafood Restaurant. This long time Chinatown restaurant has been serving customers for over 30 years.
Any Dim Sum experience should include multiple dishes and this one was no exception as I had a chance to try a lot of different dishes from the extensive selection on offer.
We started off with their house Congee and then enjoyed all of these dishes.
Soup dumplings
Steamed Shiu-Mai Dumplings
Rice Rolls with Chinese donut
Pan-fried stuffed Eggplant with shrimp paste
Shrimp Dumplings
Rice rolls
Singapore noodles
Bean Curd sheet roll
Pan fried Turnip cake with xo sauce
Sesame balls.
Dim Sum is offered daily from 9am-3pm, and reservations are strongly suggested especially on weekends. Floata Seafood Restaurant is located on the 3rd floor at 180 Keefer Street in Vancouver.
